Ashburton Dedicates ‘Herb Brown Way’ to 100-Year-Old Civic Giant Who Helped Build Baltimore’s Black Power Base

(BALTIMORE – June 27, 2025)—Ashburton stood tall this past Saturday to honor a true giant in Baltimore’s Black history. Herbert “Herb” Brown, a centenarian, veteran, entrepreneur, and architect of political progress, was celebrated by unveiling a street bearing his name. Renaming a block to Herb Brown Way marked more than a tribute. It marked a legacy. Mr. Brown served his country in World War II before returning home to serve his people. He made history as the founder of Mondawmin Travel Agency, the first full-service Black-owned travel business in Maryland. At a time when Black travelers faced roadblocks and redlining,…

TGR: Dare to Dream. Expect to Win.

A BMORENews Story(BALTIMORE – June 26, 2025) – It was a cold January night. The streets were quiet—except for the distant wail of an ambulance siren. I was somewhere between the TV remote and my computer. It was 2022. The phone rang. To my pleasant surprise, it was Dr. Tyrone Taborn. Cool, calm, and calculated, he asked how I was doing.

TGR: 0M to Just Communities Isn’t Socialism—It’s Common Sense. Bravo, Gov. Wes Moore!

(BALTIMORE – June 23, 2025) – If the government can help rich white guys, then it should help everybody else, too. Let’s be clear: Governor Wes Moore’s $400 million investment in Maryland’s Just Communities is not radical, socialist, or unjust. It’s long overdue. And frankly, it’s common sense. These funds are aimed at reversing the long, ugly legacy of redlining, displacement, and disinvestment in Black, brown, and underserved communities across the state. We’re talking about neighborhoods that for decades were intentionally held back by public policy—where highways were dropped into the middle of Black neighborhoods, where banks refused loans, and…
